Asia Pacific - March 2007

I live in Batangas and I'm thinking of going back to Manila to study for two years (I'm in my 30's). What I need is an apartment (comfortable for one person) in a relatively quiet and safe neighborhood. I plan to enroll in the following classes: swimming, driving, cooking. capoiera, languages and physical fitness. The apartment must be near any three of the schools which offer these classes.

I'm thinking of living in or around Makati but I doubt if my P5,000 monthly budget will be enough to cover the rent.

I'm not really fond of going to malls or watching movies, but I want quick access in and out of the places I need to go to.

Also, does anyone have a clear idea how much a rent in a MM apartment costs these days? Would you suggest that I live in Marikina, Taguig or Las Pinas instead?

Thanks for any good advice you'll share with me.

I am sure the Heian Shrine is one of 17 ancient shrines in Kyoto, Japan included in UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites, as its picture appears on UNESCO's website ( http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/688/ ). The site also has a link listing all the 17 specific sites ( http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/688/multiple=1&unique_number=814 ) but I can't find Heian Shrine on it. Can anyone help me identify which one is it? Thanks.

i am planning to go to singapore with my family some time in the hopefully near future and we would prefer fully escorted extended tours, as they are safer and we won't have to plan much.

we also want to go to sentosa(?) island.

any websites relating to my question are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for all the answers to my yakuza questions, but I have another one. What if you have a girlfriend who has a yakuza dad or something and you break up with her, will this anger someone of "higher power" and put me in a bad situation or do the yakuza not work like that? Or, what if I marry a woman who is related to a yakuza member? Yes, you people are probably going to yell at me for being afraid of them, but I was just wondering. Jeez...
